Exo was halfway through putting on makeup when the staff called them over to rehearse. When they walked to the front stage, Kim Taeyeon happened to be rehearsing. Nine people were waiting and watching.
Kim Taeyeon's stage was very interesting. An exquisitely decorated fairy chair was hoisted by a crane. It was hung very high. She spent most of the time sitting in mid-air singing.
This sister obviously saw the EXOs present. When she was about to leave after the rehearsal, she came over to say hello to them, and then whispered a few words to the smiling Chi Jingyuan.
"What do you think of the stage after watching it?"
"...Aren't you afraid of falling if you are so high?"
"I can't do it. I'll feel dizzy when I sit on it."
Chi Jingyuan quickly shook his head, but the focus of his evaluation was not on the stage. Although Kim Taeyeon's stage design was very eye-catching, it was scary to some people.
"Who asked you this?" Knowing that he was afraid of heights, Kim Taeyeon poked Chi Jingyuan with her elbow with a smile, waved her hand and left first, and soon entered EXO's rehearsal time.
There was no problem with Mama's dance this time. After all, she had been practicing for quite some time. Most of the songs she performed were the title songs that she had skipped countless times. The main thing was the flow of the stage performance.
Because there are several different songs throughout the process, it requires multiple changes of clothes and transitions. The connection between each song is very important. You must change clothes quickly and make sure you don’t make mistakes. If you are rushing to the scene, your left foot will mix with your right foot.
If it falls flat, it's over.
Because tonight is a formal performance, there are many people who need to rehearse, and we can't practice back and forth several times like yesterday, so we rehearsed the entire stage process without any problems and then EXO ended the rehearsal.
It was getting late at this time, and basically all the performing artists and award-giving guests had arrived at the backstage of the venue. The backstage, which seemed a little deserted when they arrived a few hours ago, was now very lively, with artists coming and going.
There was a steady flow of people with the staff, and many acquaintances simply stood in the aisle chatting. When Chi Kyung-won came in and out, he met a lot of acquaintances. In addition to the familiar idol groups, there were also awards guests such as Park Shin Hye,
Kim So Hyun, Lee Kwang Soo and others stopped to say hello and chat for a while when they met.
After that, I went back to the waiting room to put on my makeup, and after eleven o'clock, I was informed by the staff that I was ready to leave the venue to attend this Mama's press conference.
When leaving, exo happened to meet got7 and ice. They were not going to attend the press conference, and they didn't know what they were going to do.
"..." EXO and these two groups didn't have much to say. They said hello and passed each other without any communication. However, Chi Jingyuan always felt that the girls across from him looked at him strangely when they met.
Are you feeling better after catching a cold too?
It was past one o'clock when the press conference ended. After eating some fruit snacks to pacify our stomachs, EXO returned to the venue to rehearse. They rested for a while, and then immediately took the luxurious ride prepared by the organizer as soon as the time came.
The car went around in a circle and came back here to walk on the red carpet.
After a busy day, from morning to evening when we were close to the starting point, the 2015 mama, which had been prepared for a long time and attracted a lot of attention, finally entered the opening stage.
"Xo, please sit over here, Yuan Xi sits here..." Under the guidance of the staff, Chi Jingyuan, Oh Sehun, Park Chanyeol and Kim Junmyeon walked directly from the backstage along the special passage to the artist's seat, and then they were making arrangements
The seat attendant immediately came over and pointed out the seats that had been arranged for them.
This time, Mama's artist seats are not very big. There are only two rows in front and back. The back row is slightly higher above the stairs, and the front row is closer to the display screen and stage. The distance between the front and back rows is about one meter.
Everyone was seated on hollow wire chairs with edges, and there were a few small tables made of the same material in the front row.
Overall, the artist seats for this session are relatively simple and a bit crude.
Chi Jingyuan and the others are one of the latest artists to come out. At this time, the back row of the artist seats is already full. Nine people from Ice sit in a long row and occupy the middle position in the back row. The new boy group Ikon is at the end.
left.
"Anihasay..."
Seeing EXO's arrival, the juniors in the back row quickly stood up and bowed. Although the audience had already entered the venue at this time, the noise in the venue was a bit loud and it was difficult to hear the greetings clearly, but everyone's bowing movements were very standard.
Everyone pays attention on such occasions.
"..." As seniors and top idols, and there are no acquaintances of Kim Junmyun and others behind them, XO certainly has his own style. Faced with the respect of the junior group, the four of EXO nodded naturally and didn't
There were too many responses, so I just pulled out the chair in the middle of the front row and sat down Shiran.
After debuting for more than three years, EXO has finally evolved from being a transparent person who has to stand up and salute everyone in front of everyone, to a senior who can accept bows from their juniors calmly.
Chi Jingyuan and the others were in the center of the first row. Behind him was Ice, who was sitting down after saluting. He glanced to the side and glanced with his peripheral vision. Directly behind him was Lin Nalian, and next to him was Lin Nalian.
It's Kim Da Hyun and Zhou Tzuyu.
As soon as he sat down, Chi Jingyuan felt like he was surrounded by sights, not only from the countless spectators and EXO fans around him, but also from behind and shooting at the back of his head...
"I feel like the artist seating arrangement this time is not as good as last year..."
"It's ready. This chair is actually quite comfortable to sit on." There were still a few minutes left before leaving the venue. After sitting down, EXO's Jin Junmyeon and the others looked around and looked at the surrounding environment, chatting casually.
"I saw Red Velvet backstage just now. Wendy looked really good in her dress today... Jingyuan, what are you doing? Are you in a daze?" As he spoke, Park Chanyeol realized that he had not heard Chi Jingyuan's voice, and turned to
He looked over.
"Hey, brother, aren't you hungry?" Facing the members' looks, Chi Jingyuan sighed: "I really want to go backstage to eat something and take a nap, Axi..."
I got up before dawn and haven't had much rest until now. Because I have to be on camera, I haven't eaten much. I just filled my stomach casually. As a result, Chi Jingyuan is already hungry and sleepy before mama starts.
Originally, because EXO's first award was placed at the end of the upper mama, there was no need to come to the artist booth so early. However, because they were so popular, more than half of the audience at the scene wished they were here because of them, and the organizers also
In order to rely on their popularity, the director also needs to give a little rea from time to time to attract screams and create an atmosphere, so although the whole group does not need to come, the venue management still invited four EXO people to sit here from the beginning and act as mascots.
Originally, Chi Jingyuan didn't want to come. He was planning to grab something to eat and take a nap to rest. Unfortunately, the organizer specifically asked him to come to the artist's banquet, which resulted in all his previous beautiful vision being in vain.
"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do about it. Who made you so popular? The organizer named you." The three people next to him obviously knew it. They laughed when they heard it, but Park Chanyeol and Wu Sehun also touched themselves.
Belly: "But when you say that, I'm also very hungry..."
Guessing that the other five people who had not come this time should have been eating and sleeping in the waiting room, Chi Jingyuan shook his head and leaned on the back of his chair weakly.
As the captain, Jin Junmian comforted him with a few words, then pointed in the direction of the auditorium at the back and smiled: "Don't think about it, there will definitely be a replacement in the middle... Look over there, there is one over there.
Fans of Jingyuan and Sehun posted a photo of the two of them, haha, it’s so funny.”
When Chi Jingyuan and the three of them heard this, they all turned around and looked over. There was a female fan over there, holding a big photoshopped photo, standing there and jumping, looking at them and screaming.
What's interesting is that the female fan's position happened to be diagonally behind Lin Nayeon. The direction that Jin Junmian was pointing and the direction that Chi Jingyuan and the other four people were looking back were all looking past her, making her think that Jin Junmian was pointing to
She and the three seniors next to her were also looking at her. They became nervous all of a sudden. Their body and smile froze a lot. They lowered their heads and covered their chests like a reflex - she wore one under DY's arrangement today.
She was very unaccustomed to the clothes with a very low open collar.
Look what I'm doing...
She looked a little grand, and thought it was something wrong with her makeup or hair that was noticed by the people in front of her. However, after a while, Qin Mimi looked at the other person's eyes and realized something was wrong. They were not looking at her, so she felt relieved.
With a tone of voice, he blinked and turned his head, following Chi Jingyuan and the others' gaze.
Next to them, Son Chaeyoung, Kim Dahyun and Zhou Ziyu also looked back. Although they seemed to be sitting there obediently, it was their first time on such an occasion. They were obviously very nervous and were not concerned about the disturbance happening next to them.
All are very sensitive.
"Things like CP fans in the team... I really don't know what these fans think."
Chi Jingyuan looked at it twice and then turned back. His expression remained unchanged but his eyes were a little disgusted. Then he looked at Wu Shixun and asked suspiciously: "You didn't hire this fan, right?"
"Axi, go to hell, I feel sick to my stomach too..." Wu Shixun also frowned and yelled back. Fortunately, there was Park Chanyeol in the middle, otherwise the two of them would probably have to pull their stools farther away.
There are many CP fans of many members in Airi, and they can be found in any combination. There are even CP fans of Chi Jingyuan and Han who have left the team long ago. Although this kind of thing is quite common among female fans of boy groups, but for EXO
The members are actually very uncomfortable with each other, and every time they talk about it, they will argue a few words.
Compared to the nervousness of the new girl group in the back row, who were sitting upright and not daring to move, the seniors EXO seemed very relaxed and comfortable. During the short chat, it soon arrived at 7 o'clock in the evening at the Asia Expo venue.
The lights slowly dimmed and then the big screen lit up, cheers erupted one after another to celebrate the start of the awards ceremony.
Similar to previous years, as usual, a series of relatively well-produced opening VCRs were played to introduce the guests present today. Every time the poster and name of a guest appeared, there would be a burst of loud or small cheers, which were also combined by each.
A kind of support from fans to prove their popularity.
Through the screams and the fan support lights that light up after the lights dim, it can be easily seen that the most popular and supported ones are EXO and Big Bang. Alisticks and Crown Lights occupy most of the entire venue, although the former is obviously
It's a little more, but there's also a lot of the latter.
YG and SM are obviously the two protagonists this night, JYP is somewhat dwarfed in comparison.
After the vcr was played, the first stage started. It was a band whose name Chi Jingyuan couldn't recognize. Although the lead singer shouted a few hot words such as '2015 mama' and 'wele', the effect was
Somewhat average.
At this time, Huang Meiying and Xu Xian walked out of the special passage next to them. However, they did not sit in the artist's seat. Instead, they stood directly in front of the artist's seat under the guidance of the venue management. A VJ next to them was carrying a camera and was preparing to shoot, and he
A vj walked over to him and was getting ready.
Chi Jingyuan knew who was on the next stage as soon as he saw it.
Sure enough, right after the band performed, the lights dimmed and the sound of the violin emerged softly and mellowly. Amidst the elegant dance of a dancer in red, a butterfly flew from the big screen under the special lighting effects.
came out, fluttering its wings and flying higher and higher, until a figure sitting on a fairy chair appeared in mid-air. The butterflies scattered with a bang, turning into dazzling star points, lighting up the surrounding space. Kim Taeyeon's figure became more and more
When it was clear, the singing of "i" also reached everyone's ears.
"The four-colored sky~"
"The child under the sky, that is me~"
Under the guidance of the butterfly, one of the MV concepts, the lights turned from dark to bright, and the figure became clear from hazy. Sitting on the fairy chair in mid-air, she wore a pure white low-cut dress with shining spots, and her golden-gray hair
It was tied into two Muggle braids, hanging from both sides of the cheeks to the chest.
Kim Taeyeon's appearance was really stunning, and her look today was really eye-catching. As soon as she appeared, the atmosphere that seemed a little quiet just now was instantly ignited. There were cheers and screams in the stadium, and the Girls' Generation leader's huge figure
The popularity, coupled with the familiar hit songs, made mama, which had just opened, become popular all of a sudden.
sure……
Chi Jingyuan clapped his hands rhythmically, and he was also a little surprised by this sister's stage. The design was really great, mainly because the person also supported the design and makeup, and digested it very well.
Kim Taeyeon also seemed to be very excited and in good condition. She hit the high notes and rhythm of the main chorus very well, and her emotions were on point. Her usual weak aura was also covered up.
Before the performance was over, Chi Jingyuan already knew that the song "i" had a very classic stage appearance.
Just as he was moving his mouth slightly and silently singing along, the vj who had been preparing for a long time next to him began to work. The camera on the big screen first showed Huang Meiying and Xu Xian standing in front, and the two people were showing their enthusiasm and support.
After causing a burst of cheers, rea soon showed Chi Jingyuan's lens again, and suddenly there was another scream that was far louder than before.
In the camera, he is wearing an indigo denim jacket, lined with a light-colored turtleneck sweater, which smoothes the lines of his cheeks. His makeup is very deliberate and light, making the whole person look refreshing and handsome, especially
Her delicate short hair is extremely conspicuous among the surrounding idols, and her overall outfit and hairstyle show a very different style that is eye-catching.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was watching the performance on the stage seriously. He clapped gently with both hands and opened his mouth slightly. He was obviously singing along. He seemed to have noticed that the camera had turned upside down and cut to his side. After hearing the huge scream,
He also put on a little embarrassed smile, which made many fans even more excited, and the decibel level of his voice increased.
The ice people in the back row were startled when they heard this. Saka Minatozaki, Momo Hirai and others couldn't help but look behind and to the sides, and then followed them to look at the big screen.
This was the first time for them to participate in such a large-scale award ceremony since their debut. They were extremely nervous. They were surrounded by screams like mountains and tsunamis, which gave them a suffocating feeling.
At the same time, I am also shocked and envious of the popularity of this senior group and top boy band members.
Kim Taeyeon's stage ignited the atmosphere of mama tonight. After her stage ended, Huang Meiying and Seohyun said hello to EXO, and then walked directly into the backstage passage without stopping. It seemed that they did not want to stay as artists.
seats.
Sure enough, experienced youtiao are all like this...
After Kim Taeyeon's stage ended, Psy, as the opening host, came on the stage and gave a speech in English. At this time, Park Jinying walked up from the artist's seat. Facing such a senior senior, he was still the president. After seeing him, everyone
They all stood up and saluted and said hello. This guy smiled and patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder when he passed by. Then he didn't sit in the first row, but walked up the stairs and sat in the ice seat under the enthusiastic flattery of a group of girls.
beside.
After seeing him, Chi Jingyuan also knew what award to give next.
Because when awarding awards, the winners have to appear directly from the artist's bench, and some specific related artists also need to be shot, so who sits on the artist's bench, which idols come and sit, and when they leave the stage are all determined.
What's more, the organizer has already arranged it, and the time is tight.
Immediately afterwards, the first awards began, the men's and women's Newcomer Awards. The presenters, Yeo Jin-goo and Kim So-hyun, walked onto the stage hand in hand.
Chi Jingyuan smiled.
He is very familiar with Kim So Hyun. This sister has been a fan of EXO or Yuan since the release of "Roar" in 2013. She has not changed even now. She is one of the few true fans of the artist.
They are not the kind of popular celebrity fans who say something in front of the camera, but secretly don't like them and never listen to their songs.
The two of them chatted together just now, and Chi Jingyuan had a good impression of her.
The male newcomer award was awarded first. There is actually no suspense about this award. Among the several candidates, n.flyg was far from a mess. Onsita
He has the ability to compete, but he is still not as good as a newbie like Ikon.
And with so many people coming from mama and yg this time, they obviously communicated with the organizers.
When Ikon heard his name and walked out of the artist booth and kept saluting, the four members of EXO sat there steadily and did not stand up. They just clapped and smiled to give some encouragement.
Due to various reasons, the relationship between the two companies SM and YG is very normal. They don't show any enthusiasm even in public. As a senior, it is natural for EXO not to stand up when the newcomers and juniors receive awards.
If you give some encouragement, you have fulfilled your obligation.
After Ikon delivered their speeches, Yeo Jin Goo and Kim So Hyun continued to award new female artists. In fact, the competition for this award is much greater. Lovelzy, gfriend, oh y girl actually all have room for competition. Compared to ice, which has already been confirmed, in fact
Chi Jingyuan feels that gfriend is slightly more suitable.
However, this is a rational analysis, and he is still more emotional.
"The 2015 Mama, Female Newcomer Award is, ice, thick Camida..."
Following the screams, the nine members of Ice stood up in surprise and kept bowing to the side to thank them.
As for the four EXO people in the front row, Wu Shixun and the others were still sitting there, not looking back, and chatting about other things, but just when they were about to applaud perfunctorily,
However, he found that Chi Jingyuan standing next to him suddenly stood up. He was speechless for a moment. Wu Shixun and Park Chanyeol looked at each other and quickly stood up.
